“Could disabling “Location” still make the phone trackable?”

Cell phone towers need to know who owns the device/phone connecting to the network to know if you are a subscriber. It is impossible to turn that off. Turning off “location” in your phone only turns it off for applications on the phone. The cell phone company still tracks your phone.
